Petrullo is a Los Angeles based law firm defending local and national businesses, partnerships, corporations, shareholders, officers & directors and investment groups in state and federal courts throughout the country.
Our Mission: Successfully Defend Our Clients and Their Reputation
With over a quarter century of successful client representation across the nation in matters ranging from simple contract disputes to high stakes “bet the company,” and complex litigation, mass tort and class action lawsuits, Petrullo has achieved a track record of success that is second to none.
Our approach to protecting our clients’ best interests and reputation in the industry, marketplace and in their communities begins with being on the right side of the discussion—thinking smarter, planning better, acting faster—and helping our clients navigate the myriad complexities of a legal system that is all too often setup to add to the cost of litigation and prolong a resolution of a lawsuit resulting in huge financial burdens, risks and irreparable damage to a company’s name, its workforce as well as the marketing for its products or services. In high stakes and complex litigation, we move quickly to ask the right questions, recognize the risks, test the allegations, find the common ground, narrow the field of disputes and position our client for the earliest “exit” strategy and one that protects the bottom line and advances our clients’ objectives, goals and good reputation.
At every turn, we set the right example of excellence and professionalism in and out of the courtroom and, in doing so, we give a voice to our clients in the company of attorneys, and before judges, magistrates, mediators, arbitrators … and juries.
